Antique 1914 Waltham Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique 1914 pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, Traveler grade, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 19915385 dates it back to 1914.

The watch measures 54mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The nickel case was made by the Illinois watch case company. It is stamped 'Russell model' which tells us that originally it would have had a Swiss movement for Thomas Russell. So this is a marriage watch and it actually looks really good. The case has a screw on front and back which was an additional expense at the time of manufacture. The case has light surface marking but overall it is in nice condition.

The watch glass is in nice condition.

The signed dial is in good condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track with red numbers.

The watch comes with a single chain with graduated links, 31cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
